John 2:7-20

⁷Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.

⁹And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,

¹⁰And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.

¹¹This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

¹²After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.

¹³And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

¹⁵And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.

¹⁶And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.

¹⁷And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

¹⁸The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?

¹⁹Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
